June 22nd 2025 – Embracing the Silence

Leave a reply

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

As a parent, many have adult children that choose not to, or have very limited contact with thier parent’s after they leave home. For those who are or have experienced this, the pain of estrangement can feel like a heavy weight on your heart. You may find yourself questioning where things went wrong, replaying moments in your mind, and grappling with feelings of abandonment. It’s easy to feel isolated, especially when your adult children have chosen silence over connection.

In the midst of this pain, you may also face judgment from others. Friends, family, or acquaintances may hear about your situation and jump to conclusions, assuming you must have done something wrong. Their judgment, often based on limited understanding, can add to your heartache. It’s painful when others fail to see the complexities of family dynamics and the unique struggles that you face.

In these moments of deep sorrow, we must remember that our worth is not defined by our relationships with others, no matter how painful the current situation may be. God sees your heart and knows the love you have poured into your children. He understands the confusion and hurt that come when they turn away, and He knows the truth of your situation.

Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us of God’s sovereign plan for our lives. Even when we cannot see the way forward, we can trust that He is working behind the scenes for our good and His glory. Perhaps this time of estrangement is an opportunity for growth—for you, for your children, and within your relationship with God.

Take a moment today to write a letter to your children, expressing your love and hopes for reconciliation. Even if you never send it, this act can be a powerful release of your feelings. When faced with judgment from others, remind yourself that their perceptions do not define your reality. Consider reaching out to a trusted friend or support group who can walk alongside you during this difficult time. Remember, you are not alone in this journey, and God is with you every step of the way.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come to You with a heavy heart, burdened by the silence that fills my relationship with my children. I feel lost and abandoned, and I long for the connection we once had. Help me to trust in Your plans for my family, even when I don’t understand them. Grant me peace in the midst of this pain, and remind me that I am never truly alone. May Your love fill the spaces created by estrangement, and may I find comfort in Your presence. I pray for my children, that they may find their way back to You and to me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

April 26th 2025 – Restoring Joy

Leave a reply

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10)

Have you ever felt robbed of your joy? No locks were broken, no alarms triggered; yet, you sense that your joy has been taken. Was it a sudden loss, or a slow descent into despair that you barely noticed until it was too late?

The enemy is that relentless thief, attempting to rob us of the good things that Jesus has sacrificed so much for us to enjoy.

Through the blood of Jesus at His crucifixion, we gain complete authority over the enemy. No matter what schemes he devises, we are assured of victory! Scripture tells us that Jesus died so we could live blessed, full, and joyful lives.

The enemy has no rightful place in our lives; he is beneath us, under our feet. When we feel our spirits sinking into sadness, frustration, or fear, we must be prepared for battle. It is essential to know the Word of God, equipping ourselves with the necessary defenses against attacks on our joy.

“God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:9-11)

This scripture makes it clear: at the name of Jesus, every knee will bow, including that of the enemy. He must submit to Jesus and will ultimately flee!

So, how do we reclaim what the enemy has stolen? How do we restore and maintain our joy? The wonderful truth is that God specializes in restoration. He promises to return to us double for our troubles and beauty for our ashes!

The story of Job in the Bible serves as a profound testament to God’s unwavering kindness and faithfulness. The enemy stripped Job of everything: his family, home, wealth, joy, and health. Yet throughout his trials, Job praised God and held onto his faith. As a result, God restored everything to Job, giving him even more than he had lost. Job allowed his faith to overshadow his fears, leading to the return of his joy and complete restoration.

The Bible assures us that though we may experience pain during the night, joy comes in the morning. We are called to embody the mind of Christ and be transformed into God’s image. God fights our battles for us, often without us lifting a finger in our own defense! The great I AM is never too preoccupied or on a break; He is always ready to stand with us. Call on Jesus! He will never abandon you or forsake you. He rescues us in times of trouble and promises to honor and deliver us from all evil. With Him, we are destined to triumph, and we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. In God, we are always more than conquerors!

“You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with JOY in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” (Psalm 16:11)

“When you feel your joy and peace slipping away, enter into God’s presence and boldly declare that the joy of the Lord is your strength. Pray continuously and trust that God is capable and willing to perfect all that concerns you. He will fight for you always… in every way!”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, grant us the royal gift of inward happiness and the serenity that comes from living close to You. Renew within us a daily sense of joy, allowing Your eternal spirit to dwell deep within our souls and bodies, filling every corner of our hearts with light and grace. Continue to fill us with all that is good so we may reflect You in our daily lives. I give praise to You for all the blessings You have bestowed upon me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

April 4th 2025 – Transformation of the Heart

Leave a reply

“If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.” (Matthew 5:29-30)

For many years, I viewed these verses through the lens of hyperbole, interpreting them as a call for radical action against the things in our lives that lead us astray. I imagined it as a metaphorical amputation—a drastic measure to remove the sources of sin. While this interpretation holds a semblance of truth, a deeper revelation awaits us, one that is both mind-blowing and transformative.

In the verse preceding this instruction, Jesus reveals a profound truth: “If anyone looks at a woman lustfully, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Here, Jesus is unveiling the root of the issue: our hearts. The Sermon on the Mount emphasizes that our actions are merely manifestations of what resides within us. They are the fruits of a tree, and that tree is our heart.

Consider the plight of a man struggling with lust. He may take the drastic step of cutting off his hand to prevent inappropriate touch. However, he soon realizes that lust is not confined to his hands; it can thrive in his thoughts and desires. So, he gouges out his eye, yet finds no relief. The cycle continues—he cuts out his tongue to silence sinful words, and then his ears to block out seductive sounds. But with each severed limb, he discovers that the root of his sin remains intact.

Herein lies the mind-blowing revelation: Jesus is not merely advocating for the removal of body parts; He is calling for a radical heart transformation. The truth is, no external action can eradicate the sin that resides in our hearts. Our efforts at behavior modification will always fall short unless we invite Jesus to perform the ultimate surgery—removing our hardend and sinful hearts and replacing them with a new heart and spirit. Something only He can do.

In Ezekiel 36, God promises, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”

This is the crux of Christianity—not merely changing our actions, but experiencing a complete transformation from the inside out.

As we reflect on these verses, let us not become entangled in the futile cycle of trying to cut out our sins. Instead, let us surrender our hearts to Jesus, the Great Physician, who has the power to transform us. It is in this radical transformation that we find true freedom and the ability to live a life that is pleasing to God.

“Christianity in not about behavior modification, it’s about Heart Tranformation!“

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the promise of a new heart. I invite Jesus Christ into my life today, recognizing my need for His transformative power. Help me to see the areas where I have relied on my own efforts to change instead of surrendering fully to You. Create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me. May I embrace the freedom that comes from being transformed by Your love and grace. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

December 3rd 2024 – Healing Through His Light

Leave a reply

“But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.” (Malachi 4:2)

Healing is a multifaceted experience that transcends mere physical restoration; it encompasses emotional, spiritual, and relational dimensions of our lives. In the book of Malachi, we encounter a beautiful promise of healing that emanates from the “sun of righteousness.” This phrase poetically describes Jesus Christ, who embodies hope and brings profound wholeness and restoration to our weary souls.

Take a moment to reflect on the times in your life when you felt shattered—whether through physical ailments, profound loss, or deep heartache. In those vulnerable moments, God gently invites you to turn to Him for healing. It’s essential to recognize that healing may not always manifest in the way we anticipate. Sometimes, it appears as a deep-seated peace amidst chaos, renewed strength in our moments of weakness, or a comforting presence in our sorrow.

Take a few moments of quiet reflection, inviting the Holy Spirit to illuminate areas in your life that are in need of healing. Consider writing down these thoughts and prayers, bringing each concern before God, and requesting His divine intervention and comforting presence.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I humbly approach Your throne, fully aware of my need for healing—whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual. I place my trust in Your divine promises and hold fast to the belief that You possess the power to restore all that is broken within me. Help me to remain open to Your healing touch, embracing the wholeness and renewal that only You can provide. Additionally, empower me to be a source of healing for those around me, reflecting Your love and compassion during their times of distress. In the precious name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click he

November 25th 2024 – Beautifully Broken

Leave a reply

After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before. All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring. (Job 42:10)

In the midst of our struggles and heartaches, we often find ourselves questioning our worth and purpose. We may feel shattered and lost, struggling to see how God can use our brokenness for His glory. Yet, it is in these very moments of vulnerability that we can encounter the profound grace of Jesus, who specializes in restoration.

The story of Job serves as a powerful reminder of this truth. Job experienced unimaginable suffering—loss of family, health, and wealth. His world was turned upside down, and in his deep despair, he asked God why. But through his trials, Job clung to his faith, and in the end, God restored him. Not only did He bless Job with double what he had before, but He also deepened Job’s understanding of His sovereignty and love.

Just as God restored Job, He desires to mend our broken pieces, transforming our pain into purpose. Jesus invites us to bring our brokenness to Him, to lay it at His feet. In Matthew 11:28, He says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” When we surrender our wounds to Him, He begins the beautiful process of healing and restoration.

Imagine a broken vase, its pieces scattered and seemingly useless. Yet, when placed in the hands of a skilled artisan, those fragments can be transformed into a stunning mosaic. Our lives, too, can become a masterpiece of God’s grace. He takes our shattered dreams and turns them into a beautiful testimony of His faithfulness.

“Remember, in Christ, we are beautifully broken, yet perfectly whole.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the reminder that my brokenness is not the end of my story, but a part of your perfect plan. In moments of pain and struggle, help me to trust in Your restoring love, knowing that You have a purpose for every tear I shed. Open my eyes to see the beauty in my scars, understanding that they are not marks of defeat but testimonies of Your grace and healing.

Lord, I ask that You guide me through this journey of restoration. Fill my heart with hope and remind me that Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. Teach me to embrace my vulnerabilities, knowing that they allow me to connect with others and share the hope I have found in You. May I be a vessel of Your love, reflecting Your light in a world that often feels dark and broken.

I pray for those around me who are also experiencing pain and hardship. Help me to extend the same grace and compassion to them that You have shown me. Use my story to encourage others, so they may also find comfort and healing in You.

As I walk this path, may I continually seek Your presence, trusting that You are with me every step of the way. Thank You for the promise that You will never leave me nor forsake me. I place my brokenness in Your hands, knowing that You can create something beautiful from every fragment of my life. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

November 20th 2024 – Coming Home to You

Leave a reply

Please watch this first

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” (John 14:6)

The song “I’m Coming Home to You” beautifully encapsulates the journey each of us takes as we navigate through the complexities of life. In the first verse, we find ourselves wandering in the silence of the night, chasing after fleeting desires and earthly pursuits. This imagery resonates with our human experience—times when we feel lost or distant from God. Yet, the comforting reminder is that His love shines like an unwavering light, guiding us back home.

As we move into the chorus, we declare our intention to return home to God. This act of coming home signifies more than just physical location; it represents a spiritual return to the heart of our Creator. We acknowledge that true peace and release are found only in His embrace. It’s a recognition that, in the warmth of His love, our restless souls can finally find rest.

The second verse reminds us that even in our darkest valleys of doubt and fear, we are never truly alone. God’s gentle whisper calls to us, inviting us to lay down our burdens and seek solace in Him. It’s in these moments of surrender that we discover the depth of His grace, leading us back to our rightful place in His presence.

In the third verse, with the dawn of a new day, we are reminded of God’s unending grace and the fresh start it offers. How beautiful it is to envision Him welcoming us back with open arms, filling the voids that life may have created in our hearts. This image of restoration is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness.

Finally, final verses evokes a sense of commitment and belonging. No longer do we need to run or hide from our struggles; in His love, we find our true identity. His mercy flows abundantly, and in His presence, we discover our true home.

“The journey of life often leads us to feelings of being lost or distant from God, but His unwavering love guides us back home. Return to God for the source of true peace and rest, even in times of doubt and fear. Remember that in God’s embrace, we can find our true identity and restoration.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my safe haven and guiding light. Help me to recognize when I’ve wandered away and give me the courage to return to You. May I find peace in Your arms and grace in Your presence. Let me always remember that I am coming home to You, where my heart finds rest and my soul is renewed. In Jesus’ Holy name, Amen.

Spend a few moments in silence, reflecting on your journey to God. Are there areas where you feel distant? Invite Him to draw you closer, knowing that He is always waiting with open arms.

“But He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds, we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

“Is anyone among you suffering from illness? Let them summon the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer offered in faith will restore the sick, and the Lord will raise them up.” (James 5:14-15)

Throughout the Bible, healing serves as a profound theme that encompasses both physical ailments and the afflictions of the spirit. The ministry of Jesus was characterized by His compassionate acts of healing towards the sick, the blind, and those burdened by suffering. He not only restored their physical health but also offered forgiveness, comfort, and peace to their souls.

God invites us all to cast our burdens upon Him, trusting in His divine plan for our restoration and well-being.

November 15th 2024- Finding Hope in Grief

Leave a reply

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)

Grief is a deeply personal journey, one that can feel overwhelming and isolating. When we lose someone we love, it’s natural to experience a range of emotions – sadness, anger, confusion, and even relief. In these moments, it’s essential to remember that God is near to us, especially when our hearts are broken.

Jesus Himself experienced grief, as seen in John 11:35, where He wept at the death of His friend Lazarus. It’s a powerful reminder that grief is not a sign of weakness but a testament to the love we shared with those we’ve lost.

Action Steps:

1. Acknowledge Your Feelings:

Take time to be honest with yourself about your emotions. Write them down in a journal or express them through prayer.

2. Reach Out:

Don’t hesitate to talk to friends, family, or a spiritual leader. Sharing your feelings can lighten the burden and bring support.

3. Create a Memory Ritual:

Consider creating a special ritual to honor your loved one. This could be lighting a candle, planting a tree, or simply spending time reflecting on the happy memories you shared.

4. Seek Comfort in Scripture:

Spend time reading passages that speak to God’s love and comfort. Psalms and the Gospels are filled with encouragement for those who mourn.

5. Be Patient with Yourself:

Grief doesn’t have a timeline. Allow yourself the grace to heal at your own pace.

As you walk through your grief, remember that God is your refuge. He understands your pain and is there to carry you through the darkest days. Trust in His promise that one day, all tears will be wiped away, and we will be reunited with our loved ones in His eternal presence.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, in my sorrow, I turn to You for comfort and healing. Help me to navigate this painful time with Your grace. Remind me that it’s okay to grieve and that I am not alone in my suffering. May Your presence bring me peace, and may I find hope in the promise of eternal life through Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

November 12th 2024 – Finding Hope In The Silence

Leave a reply

“God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.” (Psalm 69:6)

As parents, the silence from adult children can feel deafening. The absence of calls and the distance in relationships can leave a profound sense of loneliness and despair. It’s easy to feel like you are just occupying space, longing for a connection that seems out of reach. In these moments, it’s important to remember that you are not alone. Jesus understands your pain and is present even in the silence.

Jesus offers us comfort in our loneliness. He reminds us that our worth is not defined by the actions of others but by His unconditional love. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites us, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This promise is for you. When feelings of abandonment creep in, take those burdens to Him.

When we feel we like we no longer matter to our children. Let us remember that God is always at work, even when we cannot see it. Trust that He is weaving a tapestry of healing and restoration in our families. Keep the faith, for Jesus is our hope and our refuge.

“Jesus invites us to find rest in Him, offering comfort amid loneliness. In prayer, we can bring our feelings of abandonment to God, trusting His presence and plan for our families.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come to You with a heavy heart. The silence from my children weighs on me, and I often feel forgotten. Help me to lean on Your presence and to find comfort in Your love. Fill the void in my heart with Your peace and remind me that I am not alone. Teach me to trust in Your plans for my family, even when they make time to call back or visit. In Jesus’ name Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, Give yourself the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life.
